This cottage was a credit to Rural retreats.
Very friendly host.Generous hamper and first class fittings throughout.

The location is perfect for a short stay in this beautiful part of Northumberland.

Sorry but we cannot find a fault !

Great location, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The cottage is well appointed and perfect for our stay in the North Pennines

20 JULY 2018

The cottage is wonderful, beautifully situated and amazingly equipped. The owner Alan is so helpful and informative it made a huge difference when deciding where to go in the time scales. I will recommend this place to everyone who wants a beautiful, gentle retreat that adds masses of romance and relaxation

25 JUNE 2018

Beautifully appointed cottage in lovely part of Northumberland. Had a great few days there - the only downside was the sloping ceilings which caught us out a few times. Highly recommended.

8 JUNE 2018

The cottage had instant appeal. The position is second to none. The only Down side was that it only had a bath and no shower. It was very tastefully furnished and very comfortable.

Well equipped, beautiful location, spotlessly clean, excellent welcome basket. Lovely cottage with lots of character. Nice personal touches- handwritten welcome note, flowers in bedrooms, treats for our dogs.

15 JANUARY 2018

The cottage was very spacious, immaculate with lots of character. Wonderfully situated near the woodland where we walked our dog every day. We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas at Stag Cottage and appreciated the Christmas tree and generous hamper.
Disappointed with the noise that came through from the adjoining cottage. We knew the cottages were attached but the door between is the two cottages is very thin. Given the adjacent cottage can take large groups this will always be the case. We would have liked to have some firm pillows for sleeping. Every pillow was very soft and not supportive. Thought I should mention these issues given the high standard that rural retreats likes to maintain.

9 OCTOBER 2017

Cottage excellent just 3 points. We felt the TV sound was poor and a better quality set might be more in keeping with the quality of the cottage.

The shower in the main en suite did not have anywhere to put soap or body lotion and we feel it would be improved if a soap holder was provided.

As we like reading we feel a standard lamp with a decent bulb would improve the quality of the light in the lounge evenings.

Small points but you did ask!

26 JUNE 2017

A big improvement on last year after the complaints we made.

27 MARCH 2017

Excellent cottage

12 DECEMBER 2016

Beautiful cottage, immaculately clean and well equipped.

18 JULY 2016

A beautiful cottage in the most spectacular grounds. There were only two of us, but two big dogs and we have learnt to book more rooms which gives a bigger living space. The cottage was finished to a very high standard and lacked for nothing. Very clean on arrival and we had a fabulous stay. thank you
